Have they? If anything, the past few months has shown that after the initial hype dies down, people find the limitations very quickly. It was only weeks ago that people here and on Reddit were proclaiming that graphic designers and artists were no longer needed. But while Stable Diffusion is great at making somewhat surreal images of Jeffrey Epstein eating an apple in the style of Picasso, it's not very good at, say, making a sleek, modern user interface mockup for a bank's login portal. And it turns out graphic designers are currently only paid for one of those things.
- johndough 4y agoStable Diffusion does not generate nice UIs because it has not been trained to do so. It has mostly been trained on the "laion-improved-aesthetics" dataset, which includes "aesthetic" images. There are only very few UI mockups in there. You can explore the dataset here: https://laion-aesthetic.datasette.io/laion-aesthetic-6pls/images https://laion-aesthetic.datasette.io/laion-aesthetic-6pls/im... You could finetune the Stable Diffusion model to generate UI mockups and would receive much better results.
